Mainly due to the fact that if Tom Brady does not play for the Bucs in 2023 it will cost $35M of dead cap space and we will still need to find a starting QB for 2023.
If he returns we can shelve that $35M plus another $15M of salary this season.
This would allow the Bucs to have a quality QB1 for just $10M plus we get to push the $50M dead cap into next season.
It is really the only way this team will be able to “reload” instead of “rebuild” as Todd Bowles suggested he wanted to do…
A diminished Brady, and I think that description isn’t that accurate, is still better than the any available experienced quarterbacks. You don’t count Brady out.
The 45 year old goat. To scared to get hit. That showed in that interception he threw in end zone. That was all on him. Panic throw. We have seen this before.
The GOAT is the best thing thats ever happened to this team. If im the GM im doing everything possible to get him to come back until hes ready to retire as a Buc.
This poll should look like the did the Bucs make the right call on firing leftwich.
Yeah he isn’t what he was he is still a top 10 QB he still led the league in pass attempts and completions. He didn’t have any help his offense took one of the biggest step backs in recent memory. Any other QB would have looked absolutely horrid. Also people think this team can just go get another QB.
Because this teams history of QBs before Brady got here is great right? I’m sure the jameis defenders say yes.
Car got benched by a losing franchise. Jimmy G started the season on the bench with one foot out the door(nobody would trade for him), couldn’t finish the season, and is now being outperformed by mister irrelevant.
Why come back after his first losing season, first loss to the cowboys, and first time his entire offensive coaching staff was fired after a season. We gave him a lot of firsts this year.. The bad ones. Seems like the Glazers were hurt that he wanted to leave for the Dolphins so they made his last year miserable. Won’t put it past the Glazer types
If their oline sucks as bad as it did this year, yes because he’s just not tailored to paying the game with those issues! He can still zip the ball and make dime throws with clean pocket but that was rare this year.

Depends on if we get a new HC.
January 20th, 2023 at 8:30 am
Nah, move on……3 seasons is way more than I thought he’d be here at his age.
This Franchise must look towards it’s future…….and it sure as he’ll ain’t with Tom Brady…..
Rebuilding time.
January 20th, 2023 at 8:32 am
Thanks Tom but want you gone.
January 20th, 2023 at 8:34 am
I said yes because he AIN’T coming back.
January 20th, 2023 at 8:39 am
I voted “No”…

We love you, Tom, so go be free if that’s what’s best and if you want to come back to the Bucs then, “no” way in hell we are moving on. Cheers!
January 20th, 2023 at 9:08 am
If we are sticking with Bowles, our best shot is to stick with Brady…….I’d be alright with blowing things up now……we’ll eventually have to do it

Remember when the “great” Bruce Gradkowski would stand in the pocket and just brutally get hit all the time just deliver and get rid of the ball?????
You guys Remember that?????
Ummmm……yeah, no way in Hell will do that this season….no way
January 20th, 2023 at 9:31 am
Yes. One more SB.
January 20th, 2023 at 9:32 am
Joez … how about a poll
Are we in need of a rebuild or reload
January 20th, 2023 at 9:38 am
Move on;

If we shore up the OLine and add a speed option at WR, Brady still has it
But if we are gonna trot out a couple back ups disguised as starters, we should move on to an athletic type that can make plays on the run

My vote to keep him is less about Brady and more about the other options available (which are not good)
January 20th, 2023 at 11:02 am
Depends on who the replacement will be…
A tougher (take the hit) more mobile QB like Carr or Jimmy G who will give us more years – YES!
a drafted qb – %$#@ NO!… the Freeman/Winston projects were failed years!

Try a little harder.
